Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor is an amazing village in the Vale of the White Horse near Oxford that has recently finished shooting a feature film. The Husband Obedience Trials is a full length romantic comedy written and directed by Guy Browning with the locations, the organisation, some of the finance and many of the parts supplied by members of the community. The project attracted lots of news coverage during the filming which can all be seen in the "News" and "What the Press Are Saying" sections to the left. Meanwhile the film is busy being edited at Fullrange in Birmingham while the marketing team continue their work on developing the sales package and taking the film to market. |

Making any film is a major logistical exercise. Most of the activity takes place behind the camera, preparing the shots, making the costumes, finding the locations, keeping everyone well fed and the whole crew and cast happy and informed at all times. When we set out to make this film we knew we couldn't afford professionals to do all this for us. That's why we're using the wealth of talent in the village to help us with many of these critical jobs. A huge amount of unpaid voluntary labour is required which is why the village has a Golden Share in the film. When the film is sold and distributed and starts to make money, the village will earn too courtesy of this Golden Share. Then, when the time comes, everyone who has helped in the village will decide where the money goes - to the pre-School, a minibus, tennis court or maybe just a colossal party. |

Tom, gardener at the big house, can talk to plants but not to women. When beautiful Polish au pair Hannah arrives for the summer, Tom falls for her catastrophically like the felling of one of the giant trees he cares for in the manicured grounds. Tom’s adviser in matters of the heart is young Harry, abandoned by the rich owners of the house to run wild in the gardens. Harry’s secret wish is for the Red Arrows to appear at the village fair: Tom’s is to win the heart of Hannah. Both seem impossible dreams until the whole village decides to lend a hand. |
